What's it about
Coinciding with the beginning of the Aurèlia Muñoz Centenary, three reconstructions of sculptures from the Star Birds series (1982) can be seen in the MACBA atrium, one of the artist's most emblematic works. Muñoz conceived these pieces to be installed at great height and to dialogue with natural light, conditions that the current presentation faithfully reproduces. In 1982, the artist showed the series at the Palacio de Cristal in Madrid and at the Drassanes Reials in Barcelona ─two spaces of exceptional scale and light qualities─ and, subsequently, the set was selected for the 11th International Tapestry Biennial of Lausanne (1983). Muñoz's intention was for the works to fly over places and people, thereby encouraging an expansion of space both outdoors and inside large buildings. At MACBA, these works will occupy the Meier Building atrium for much of the commemorative year, before migrating to different points in Catalan territory. Aurèlia Muñoz Ventura was born in Barcelona on 13 April 1926 and, after dedicating herself for more than five decades to artistic practice through multiple media, she is today recognized as one of the key figures for understanding the evolution of contemporary art of our time. This commemoration highlights the pioneering and visionary role of an artist who, with her work ─fundamentally sculptural, but also pictorial and graphic─, traversed and renewed ancestral techniques such as embroidery, knotting (or macramé), or paper making; and she did so in dialogue with the artistic avant-gardes of her time, while creating links between disciplines such as art, architecture, theatre, and engineering. Her work reveals a committed gaze that anticipates eco-social concerns such as material sustainability and relations between species, as well as the importance of diversity and poetry as links between the realms of artistic production and life. The production and installation, carried out by MACBA thanks to the support of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Aurèlia Muñoz Archive, and the collaboration of Casa Batlló Contemporary, also establishes a symbolic dialogue with the work of Antoni Gaudí, in the year of the centenary of his death. Curatorship: Sílvia Ventosa Muñoz, Head of the Aurèlia Muñoz Archive. Scientific advisory: einaidea (Fundació Eina, Barcelona), under the direction of Manuel Cirauqui.
